KOFTA

Kofta is a popular dish made from grilled ground beef that is served throughout the Middle-East.A great accompaniment is
saffron rice. Prep Time: approx. 20 Minutes. Cook Time: approx. 10 Minutes. Ready in: approx. 30 Minutes. 1 pound ground beef
1 onion, diced 1 egg yolk 2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano salt and pepper to taste 1 bamboo skewers, soaked in water for
20 minutes 1 In a medium bowl, mix together the ground beef, onion, egg yolk, oregano, salt and pepper. 2 Pick up medium sized
handfuls and press them onto skewers. Roll on a lightly oiled clean surface until the mixture looks like a large ground beef
hot dog with about 1 1/2 inches at each end of the skewer. Place your fingers in the middle of the skewer and separate the
meat log into two sausages with about 1 inch of skewer sticking out at each end. 3 Prepare a grill for high heat, or if you
only have a grill pan, like myself, heat it over medium-high heat. 4 Place the sausages on the grilling surface, and cook
for about 10 minutes, turning once or twice for even cooking. Serve immediately.
